Many wonderful friendships have developed. Boston Chapter offerings include:

Special Interest Groups (SIGS)

SIGS bring together women with common interests. Existing groups include a Theater Buffs group, Book Club, Movie Goers, Community Volunteers, Sunday Brunch Diners, Mah Jongg Players, Travel Enthusiasts. Always looking for ideas, we will help get any new groups started. Potential new groups include Crafting, Day Trippers, and Game Players.

There are three chapter-wide SIGS that are open to all members: Community Volunteers, Theater Buffs, and Sunday Brunch. You can request addition to those email lists and come when you can! Requests to join those groups or any others, please contact Joyce Blumenthal or Carol McKee.

Peer Groups (members only)

Peer groups consist of 6-12 women who meet regularly each month to engage in thought provoking and stimulating discussions on topics of their choosing. Discussion topics range from those that are light-hearted and fun to others that help members to define and think through their futures. These groups provide opportunities for connection, new friendships and mutually supportive exploration.

Social Events

Social gatherings, open to the entire Boston Chapter, are offered throughout the year. Examples include trips to the Newport Mansions, Peabody Essex Museum, House Tours, Holiday Parties, Charles River Boat trip, Pizza & Gelato Outing, WaterFire in RI, Vermont Weekend Getaway, on and on.
